Here are my two.
I bought the one on the left in 1990 from a Berlin street trader. I paid about £17 brand new. I had it repaired a couple of years ago, hence the reason for the gold coloured sub dial hands. I'll get them replaced for the correct items one day. The one on the right is a recent E-bay purchase.

Poljot are far harder to find than they used to be, although 3133 movement chromos are quite common.
Poljot do make one chrono using a 3133, that I can see, although the movement isn't made by Poljot any more.
This is real Poljot mind, and not the German manufactured watches which use the Poljot name. Maktime make the movements and Volmax use them to make a number of models formerly made by Poljot, such as the Sturmanskie.

Seeing this has just reminded me I've got a Poljot sitting in the bathroom cabnet........ it's not a military watch, but a manual wind-up with an alarm, I'm guessing from the 80's or early 90's .... I'll get a picture of it, and maybe someone can let me know more about it
Best I can do with iPhone .... Front says Poljot, 18 Jewels, Made in USSR, rear just has 709177 stamped on it.
I bought it approx. 6 years ago on ebay for about a £10 because I liked the dial.
Just been having a look about, and it is from the 80's/early 90's as suspected, and movement is 2612.1
Decided it would look a lot different/better on a bracelet, and mines got brushed all metal face, which most aren't, as well as being in a lot better condition then the majority.
